I researched electric string trimmers thoroughly before opting for theGreenworks 21142. So far its performance has been impressive.It was easy to assemble, has strong power and is not difficult to re-string.Throw in a 4-year warranty and I don't see a competitor that can touch it.Thanks to Tyler Tools for great customer service and fast shipping, too.

It was a snap to assemble and easy to use. The only negative is the cord but I knew that going in and wanted the quiet power and light weight you get from 120V. I purchased this product for the tall thick grass around the cabin and it doesn't disappoint. Make sure to use a good extension cord (14 awg or bigger) especially when it's longer, otherwise it will over tax the motor and the cord will heat up. You can get by with a 16awg for short, lite jobs but keep the length as short as possible. I've been using this product with no complaints and I'm actually very happy with it.

I used it for two days to trim around the yard. It is powerful with a wide swath. I had to switch to the smaller trimmer in tight spaces but I could easily reach under areas that previously were difficult to impossible to reach. It never bogged down but had to be careful around small steel stakes. It will grab them fast. I made a shoulder sling to help take some of the weight but the top motor helps keeps the unit well balanced. With all the trimming around trees and plants in my medium size yard, the electric cord takes planning and no need for gas engine maintenance and noise. I got a five year old gas trimmer a number of years ago. I never got it running enough to do the yard. I know that small gas engines run well but become temperamental as they get old.

Awesome power comparable to my Ryobi 2 cycle pain in the butt to start gas trimmer. After a while pressing the top button and the bottom button gets uncomfortable to press at the same time (I have arthritis so that is a factor). Would like to have a shoulder strap attachment added for a few bucks more. Overall a great trimmer

I started with electric trimmers . . . I had about 3 of them. Then I "graduated" to gas. For the first 2 to 3 years, everything was fine, and then problem after problem. I threw it in the trash. I was very skeptical about going back to electric after getting used to the power of a gas trimmer. I read all the reviews online that I could find on this product and felt fairly confident ordering this unit. I'm glad I did. It works just as stated. It has a lot of zip, and does everthing I need. . . . trimming and edging. The ONLY drawback is toting the cord around, but that's what you buy into when you get an electric unit.

I shopped for this trimmer because the craftsman heavy 4 cycle gas trimmer I've been using became hard to start and blew out a clutch as a result of the heavy weeds I whack. This electric trimmer gets a little heavy after about 30 minutes so I will attach a shoulder strap. Dragging a cord is the trade off but not that bad. I wish the string was a heavier gage like the craftsman twisted line lasts well despite heavy use. Electric is clean and quiet . . . invent a solar powered trimmer and I'd buy it !!!

I don't understand listing "trailing cord" as a Con on a corded product. I think that is actually a requirement of a corded yard tool. If it was not a desirable feature, buy a gas or cordless unit. A valid Con might be that it is a discontinued product, or that the pre-loaded spools are hard to find.

Pros would be that it is the most powerful electric string trimmer available, or that is takes the typical attachments of the higher powered gas trimmers from 4 or 5 different manufacturers.

Used to trim around the house. Great product quality built. Great feel, no more mixing fuel and constant pulling. Highly recommend this product. Great customer service. Every thing postive so at this review..

Could use a shoulder strap for long period use.Multiple string included would be nice. Please respond with information concerning the purchase of more string For use on fence rows around the farm yard.

Aside from the cord trailing behind, using this electric trimmer is much like using a gas-powered trimmer. Good power, dual trimming lines, straight shaft. Good alternative to the fuss of a gasoline engine when you have a relatively small yard to trim.

Have a 5 year old Husqvarna gas trimmer. Started giving trouble, part after part, decided to look at alternatives. Nothing but same old products in the box stores. Found this, here at CPO, and decided to give it a shot. This has all the power of the gas trimmer, as well as the weight. I use a 100 ft 16 gauge cord and it runs fine. Does not have the vibration or the noise of the gas model, but due to the weight, I keep it to 15 minute intervals of use. The bump advance works well. Have only went around the perimeter twice with it, but so far has exceeded my expectations.

We are interested in the 21142 model of the electric string trimmer. We read that it is the top seller, and just now saw the question regarding the fact that is no longer avalable. Is this true? Also, where is it made?Thank you.
